ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan ne Senate ki aik committee ko bataya hai ke Elon Musk ki Starlink samet chhe satellite internet companiyan Pakistan mein registered ho chuki hain, magar in mein se koi bhi abhi khidmat faraham nahin kar sakti kyunke in ke license wazarat-e-dakhla ki security clearance ke muntazir hain.
Senate ki qaima committee ko, us ke chairman Rana Mahmood-ul-Hassan ke khat ke baad bheji gayi report mein commission ne kaha ke in mein se chaar companiyan, Aether One, Flanavotics, Galaxy Space aur SpaceP, Pakistan Space Activities Regulatory Board ke qiyam ke baad registered huin. Starlink aur SpaceCell Pakistan bhi maqami companiyon ke taur par registered ho chuki hain.
Registration sirf pehla qadam hai. Commission ne kaha: “Company ki registration karobaron ko satellite internet khidmat faraham karne ki ijazat nahin deti.”
Manzooriyon ka silsila: har company ko pehle khalai regulatory board se NOC darkar hai. Is ke baad Pakistan Telecommunication Authority license jari kar sakti hai, magar sirf usi surat mein jab wazarat-e-dakhla company ke ghair mulki directors aur shareholders ki security jaanch mukammal kar le. Commission ke mutabiq ab tak sirf SpaceP ne apna NOC jama karaya hai, jabke Starlink, Galaxy Space aur SpaceCell Pakistan ki security manzoori abhi zer-e-iltiwa hai, jis ki wajah se woh licensing ka amal aage nahin barha saktin.
Satellite internet un pahari wadiyon, sehraon aur dehaat tak connection pahuncha sakta hai jahan fiber aur mobile networks kabhi nahin pahunche. Filhal yeh tay nahin ke in chhe mein se kisi ko bhi kab service shuru karne ki ijazat milegi.
